‘Without one, the whole network falls’: Princeton joins multi-city flood partnership
The coalition says flood repairs and upgrades need federal help, with Princeton’s diking plan alone estimated at $60 million.
- Princeton has joined Merritt, Abbotsford, Chilliwack, and Hope to form The West Coast Resiliency Partnership, seeking federal flood mitigation funding for critical infrastructure repair.
- Severe damage from the 2021 atmospheric river devastated these communities, yet they still lack federal support despite applying for the Disaster Mitigation and Adaptation Fund immediately after the disaster.
- Princeton Mayor Spencer Coyne noted the town's $60 million diking plan is unfeasible for its 3,000 residents, while engineers warn that three key bridges threaten vital trade corridors.
- Local leaders recently failed to secure meetings with federal ministers at the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, fueling frustration over the lack of national funding for these essential "nation building projects."
- Coyne urged residents to contact their MLAs, noting that while provincial ministers provided letters of support, federal investment is required to protect the entire regional network.
